Officer Violated NYPD Guidelines By Using Pepper Spray On Wall Street Protesters

NEW YORK — An internal New York Police Department review has found an official violated department guidelines when he used pepper spray on Occupy Wall Street protesters last month, a person with knowledge of the investigation said Tuesday.

Deputy Inspector Anthony Bologna faces discipline of a loss of 10 vacation days after the Sept. 24 incident near Union Square, shortly after the now-global protests began in a tiny private plaza in lower Manhattan, the person said. The person had direct knowledge of the review but was not authorized to speak publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

More that what I expected but still not enough.

He did more than that, he chemically assaulted people with no need and of course the other 'police' just watched and let him do it cause they are all part of the same gang.

Lets see....a person who is authorized to kill you without consequence and is given that special authority by, you guessed it --"we, the people" -- uses that authority to assault unarmed, defenseless, and non-threatening WOMEN, AND is watched (and tacitly APPROVED by) OTHER police, is NOT charged with a crime, but instead, loses 10 VACATION DAYS!?? Oh MY! THAT had to REALLY hurt. What do you think would happen to US if one of us walked into the crowd at the Salisbury festival and sprayed a group of women with police-level mace? And laughed about it, too? I bet WE would lose more than some vacation...this is what "we, the people" get when we allow the police to investigate THEMSELVES and decide their own "punishment", if thats what they call it. They are, quite obviously, public MASTERS. Protect and serve? PURE propaganda....
